pickEver since their mother's death, Opal has fought tooth and nail to protect her little brother Jasper. She's even willing to brave the rumored horrors of Starling House if it means money for his school fund. This gripping fantasy blends fairy tale elements with the gritty details of growing up poor in a small mining town in Kentucky. As a Kentuckian myself, I may be a bit biased, but I couldn't put this one down.
I'm updating my Book tracker with February's reads. I still love my Ivy2 and this journal. ❤️

Book Bracket Feb Update
Top Read for February is Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman.
This was a good book, but I wanted more. I think the fact that its written from a child's point of view is what made it scarier and more emotional for me.
My first post! This quote resonated with me as I‘m having to temporally live at home 😂
pickI'm still thinking about this one and how I want to review it. I liked it, but it's weird; I can't quite say how much yet.
I didn't make a #BookSpinBingo blackout in February, as you see. But maybe I'll make it before the new numbers are announced -- in my heart, that still counts! And either way, this is what... six bingos? I'm happy.
A friend loaned me this today. It definitely sounds interesting.
so-soI finished this one on audio a few days ago. I enjoyed the setting and the writing style but just couldn‘t get attached to any of the characters.
pickDisorienting and a house occupied by either mold or malevolence. A couple moves in. A neighbor is hostile. And both experience a house inflicting illness. Everyone has a story of the scandal and story - but the ‘why‘ is of no importance. Told from his/hers rapid short chapters, the reader is, literally, in the grip of the home, people, and delirium. How do you leave unscathed? Is it an infection passed on? A thrilling read!
so-soI got this from my book club‘s mystery Christmas book exchange. It was an OK read but I felt the writing had a tendency to be too repetitive, and some of the events felt too obviously like plot devices. Maybe I‘m just too cynical for ghost stories!
